[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]I read this site and another fishing forum and the information is helpful. Today I was reading about the member’s favorite spinner for trout and I will definitely get myself a panther martin or two as recommended. I do not know what color/size to get? Should I retrieve it slow or fast or itermittently both?[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3] [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]This brings up a larger question for me.[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3] [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]I have only caught one fish on a moving lure and it was a brown trout on a wooly bugger.[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3] [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]I have tried a lot of times with different lures, spinners, spoons, crank baits, etc. with no results. So I always just give up and go back to worms under a bobber, but in Washington State if I want to catch more than five trout in a lake/pond or two in moving water I can not use the worm (artificial lures, no scent or flavor) after my limit to C&R. I really need to work on the whole artificial lure technique. The biggest problem I have is that I always go fishing alone and so when I try something new I try and use it the way the fellow in the store told me or what I have read on line for different tactics, but practice does not make perfect, practice makes permanent. If I am doing it wrong in the first place it will not get better.[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3] [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]I really do not know exactly what I am asking for here. Maybe more detailed explanations of technique? Maybe video of how one “swims” a rapala (I have heard that term and have no idea how to do this). Perhaps if you know of a web site or sites that have videos of how to cast, retrieve and play a lure.[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Any help would be appreciated.[/size][/font]
